🔍 Deep Malware Scanner
Scans your entire WordPress installation — plugins, themes, uploads, and core files — for backdoors, obfuscated PHP, web shells, and known malware patterns with severity ratings.
View Research Data🔥 Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Helps detect and block common web attacks, including SQL injection, XSS and RFI, before they reach WordPress. Loads via auto_prepend_file for the earliest possible threat interception.
⚠️ Automated Security Alert Emails
Automatically sends a beautifully formatted HTML security alert email with full threat summary when malware is detected. Rate-limited to once per 24 hours to prevent inbox spam.
📂 Core File Integrity Monitor
Compares every WordPress core file against official checksums from WordPress.org. Detects unauthorized modifications to wp-login.php, wp-config.php, and all core files instantly.
🔐 Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
TOTP-based 2FA with full-screen QR code setup wizard. Works with Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, and any standard TOTP app.
🔗 Passwordless Magic Link Login
Allow trusted users to log in via a secure, time-limited magic link sent directly to their email. Reduces reliance on password-based authentication and helps mitigate brute-force attacks.
🚫 Brute-Force Attack Protection
Automatically blocks IP addresses after repeated failed login attempts. Fully configurable lockout duration, attempt thresholds, and IP whitelisting.
🔑 Pwned Password Checker
Silently checks passwords against HaveIBeenPwned database using k-Anonymity model — your full password is NEVER transmitted. Warns users instantly if compromised.
🤖 Anti-Spam & Bot Protection
Protect login, registration, and comment forms from bots using Cloudflare Turnstile (privacy-respecting) or Google reCAPTCHA v2/v3. No annoying image puzzles.
🌍 Real-Time Threat Intelligence
Syncs with Nexura Threat Intel Cloud for up-to-date malicious IP blocklists and WAF attack signatures, keeping firewall rules current against the latest threats.
🛠️ One-Click Security Hardening
Apply all WordPress security best practices in one click: disable file editor, block PHP in uploads, disable XML-RPC, block directory listing, and prevent user enumeration.
🗄️ Database Security Scanner
Scans your WordPress database for rogue administrator accounts, suspicious option values, and malicious content injected into posts and pages by attackers.
🚑 Fatal Error Auto-Heal
Catches PHP fatal errors before they crash your site. If a new plugin causes a "White Screen of Death," Nexura automatically detects it, disables it, and reloads the page.
📊 Real-Time Upload Scanning
Every file uploaded through WordPress (media, plugins, themes) is automatically scanned for malware signatures before it is saved to your server.
🔍 Google Safe Browsing Check
Instantly verify whether your website has been flagged by Google as containing malware or phishing content. Catch blacklisting before your visitors do.
📡 SSL & HTTPS Monitor
Monitors your SSL certificate health and enforces HTTPS redirects to prevent mixed-content warnings and insecure connections.
📁 Root Directory Integrity Checker
Detects suspicious and unknown files dropped directly into your WordPress root folder — a common technique used by attackers to plant backdoors and web shells.
💾 Database Backup
Create a full database backup with one click before performing any cleanup operation — so you can always roll back safely if anything goes wrong.
Advanced Protection & Automation
Extends the free version with powerful automation, advanced scanning, and enterprise-grade protection for sites that need maximum security.
Tokenizer-Based Smart Scanner
Uses token-based PHP analysis to identify suspicious code patterns that regex-based scanners may miss.
Automated Malware Cleanup
One-click automated removal of detected malware without needing developer access. Strips injections and restores files automatically.
AI Deep Scan & Auto-Fix
Hybrid engine automatically sends obfuscated or highly suspicious files to Cloudflare/OpenAI for deep AI analysis and generates instant fixes.
File Quarantine System
Moves suspicious files to an isolated, execution-blocked quarantine zone where they cannot cause harm while you review them safely.
Custom Login URL (Hide wp-admin)
Rename wp-login.php to a secret URL, which helps reduce automated brute-force attacks before they even reach your login page.
Cloudflare Edge WAF Integration
Syncs Nexura's threat intelligence directly to your Cloudflare account. Blocks malicious requests at the edge before they even reach your server.
📡 Active Visitor Monitoring
Real-time visitor tracking dashboard with live stats, 4 interactive charts (Traffic Trend, Browser, Device, OS), auto-refreshing visitor table, and intelligent bot detection.
Scheduled Automatic Scans
Set malware scans to run every 2 hours, daily, weekly, or monthly — fully automatic, no manual action required. Always protected 24/7.
Database & Media Optimizer
Automatically cleans up orphaned post meta, expired transients, old revisions, and unused media files to dramatically speed up your site's performance.

Loved by the Community
See what developers and site owners are saying about Nexura Security across Product Hunt and the WordPress community.
"The low-database-bloat malware scanner is a genuinely smart approach, most security plugins drown your wp_options table and nobody talks about it. Glad someone finally optimized that side of things."
The wp_options table is exactly what we wanted to save. We were so tired of seeing megabytes of transient logs bringing sites to a crawl. Really appreciate you noticing the technical effort behind this! 🎤
"The minimal database bloat thing actually surprised me, my dashboard feels noticeably snappier after switching. Early-load WAF is a nice touch too, most plugins make you jump through hoops for that."
Making the WordPress dashboard feel snappier again is exactly what we set out to do. We're also really proud of the early-load WAF — security shouldn't require jumping through complex configuration hoops! 🎤
"Honestly, the minimal database bloat claim is what caught my eye. Tested it on a site with a messy existing setup and the scanner finished way faster than I expected."
Thanks for giving Nexura a spin on a messy setup! Keeping the database clean and the scanner lightning-fast without spiking server resources were our biggest priorities from day one. 🎤
